The Atlantic
At a time when sound bites too often replace substance, The Atlantic invites us to think again. Winner of more than 20 National Magazine Awards, its provocative stories confront the most important questions of our era—from “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” to “Why Do Presidents Lie?” and “Is It the End of Men?” Its acclaimed writers—including James Fallows, Hanna Rosin, Alexis Madrigal, Megan McArdle, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and many others—challenge, inform, and entertain through new ideas and unbiased approach.

Rick Valicenti
is recognized as one of the premier graphic designers in practice today. In 2006, he was a recipient of the prestigious AIGA Medal for Design Excellence. Valicenti’s work is included in the permanent collection at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. He has also received two President’s Design Awards from the National Endowment for the Arts. Valicenti says that the real reward of producing art and design is “found in those flashes of time lost for a moment in the moment — when gravity is a welcomed collaborator, there is no choice but to be very present.”

Thirst
Valicenti’s Chicago-based design collaborative, Thirst, works with cultural leaders, architects, publishers, designers, and others to “pursue the elusive ideals of intelligence, fashion, and real human presence within today’s world of communication.”
